rear axel assembly on sport kit

[oldblue2010]

So I got my rear axle assy completed- i can't turn the wheel hex by hand easily BUT the diff spool spins nice and smooth and the hex's turn like they are supposed to- is this ok? everything is lubed and meshing like it should- this is my first TRAXXAS build thanks

Yes, this is normal when trying to move it hand. Just the way the low gearing is.

Correct, my quick math said total axle gearing with r&p and portal reduction is around 7:1. Spinning the hex reverses that, makes it very difficult.
